Get Used To It

I'm tired of playing, I'm tired of hiding Shame for myself is all I'm finding Why do I gotta be what the world says we should be? I ain't him, I ain't her, I ain't them, I'm just me Not gonna tone it down before everyone sees Won't be a prisoner of the norm, I wanna be free I'll break all the rules I may look like a fool, but I've always been this way, if I'm crazy it's okay 'Cause I live and breathe my truth every single day Who cares if it's normal, who cares where I fit? I ain't gonna change, you better get used to it. The girls were teasing, the boys were laughing Can't pretend like it all never happened But it's part of my journey to feel everything I've felt It's a scar, it's a wound, and it all sticks around I've tried to erase all the things that brought me down But at least it gave me many, many stories to tell I'll break all the rules I may look like a fool, but I've always been this way, if I'm crazy it's okay 'Cause I live and breathe my truth every single day Who cares if it's normal, who cares where I fit? I ain't gonna change, you better get used to it. This is who I am, get used to it Don't wanna hide again, get used to it No more going insane 'Cause I ain't gonna change I've always been this way, if I'm crazy it's okay 'Cause I live and breathe my truth every single day Who cares if it's normal, who cares where I fit? I ain't gonna change, no, no, no... I've always been this way, if I'm crazy it's okay 'Cause I live and breathe my truth every single day Who cares if it's normal, who cares where I fit? I ain't gonna change, you better get used to it I ain't gonna change, you better get used to it!
